An Open Interation on Corporate Recruitment Trends & Career Readiness

-


The "An Open Interaction on Corporate Recruitment Trends and Career Readiness" proved a resounding success, addressing a vital need for 4th-year law students navigating the competitive placement landscape. Organized by the School of Law's Placement Committee, the event stemmed from comprehensive surveys revealing a stark "readiness gap": over two-thirds of students felt unequipped to convert academic internships into competencies prized by Tier-1 law firms, particularly in high-growth areas like Infrastructure, M&A, and Real Estate. Participants voiced "placement anxiety" over unclear recruitment cycles, lacking insights into technical expectations, strategic negotiation, and corporate etiquette.

The session featured a distinguished speaker Mr. Haroon Asrar with over two decades in corporate law, ADR, and executive management, holding advanced degrees from top institutions. The structured flow—welcome, introduction, core presentation, interactive Q&A, and closing—fostered dynamic engagement, with students probing specifics on CV optimization, moot court value versus internships, LLM relevance, and soft skills differentiation.

Key objectives were fully met: demystifying hiring criteria, illuminating Corporate Law intersections with business operations, aligning student profiles to recruiter needs, bridging theory-practice divides, and resolving doubts on internships and technical demands. Expected outcomes materialized as heightened confidence, reduced stress, and tailored strategies, transforming passive learners into proactive candidates ready for high-pressure interviews.with standout takeaways: prioritize practical experiences like moots and internships; master negotiation and etiquette; pursue niche LLMs strategically; leverage ADR in M&A; and build interdisciplinary profiles blending law with finance.

This initiative exemplified proactive career development, humanizing recruitment while equipping students for 2026-2027 opportunities in a globalized legal market. It underscores the Placement Committee's role in fostering employability, setting a benchmark for future industry interactions that blend academic rigor with real-world pragmatism. 

The event holds critical relevance for 4th-year BA LLB and BBA LLB (Honours) students amid intensifying competition for Tier-1 law firm placements in 2026-2027.Pre-event surveys highlighted a "readiness gap," with over two-thirds of students unprepared for competencies in Infrastructure, M&A, and Real Estate—high-growth sectors demanding strategic negotiation, corporate etiquette, and interdisciplinary skills beyond academics. Mr. Haroon Asrar's expertise as Partner at Solomon & Co. and CEO of VANDAC Properties directly addressed this, demystifying opaque hiring processes and bridging legal theory with pragmatic business demands.Perfectly mapped to Programme Outcomes, it advances PO3 (Professional Skills) via mooting, drafting, and leadership training; PO2 (Critical Thinking) through global trend deliberations; and PO4 (Values) by embedding ethics and constitutional commitment. Programme Specific Outcomes are met via corporate governance analysis and socio-political policy insights.In a dynamic legal market favoring ADR-savvy, C-suite-ready talent, this event reduces placement anxiety, boosts employability, and aligns with IQAC's outcome-based education mandate—transforming aspirations into actionable career strategies.
